Welcome to planDisney, Amy. It won't be long before you are heading to the Most Magical Place on Earth, and I could not be more excited for you.
I recently enjoyed dinner at
California Grill, and you are in for a phenomenal evening. If you are planning to drive to
Disney's Contemporary Resort, you have a two-hour arrival window before your reservation time in which you can park at the resort. Be sure to have your reservation available on the
My Disney Experience App to show the Cast Member at the gate.
A Sunset Margarita at
Steakhouse 71 Lounge is a perfect accompaniment to the sunset over Bay Lake. And an Ancho Rancho Spicy Margarita at
California Grill Lounge pairs well with a view of the fireworks over Cinderella Castle at
Magic Kingdom Park, a little bit of fire and a lot of "ooh" and "aah."
The
Walt Disney World Resort calendar will tell you the time of the fireworks on the day of your visit. You will certainly want to make sure this is built into your plans.
Thinking of spirits, did you know the timing of your visit may coincide with Halfway to Halloween? Keep an eye out for announcements of haunting shenanigans on
Disney Parks Blog's Halloween page. There is usually some frightening fun creeping around the parks and resorts as the Halloween season is only six months away.
Cheers to a spirited trip!
